  1. Site /.'ed? on Project Plex-Box · · Score: 1

    The site seems fine to me. The mod itself was okay, though I'd rather slap on into this mini-ATX case I have. For the BOFH who wants to play games without them noticing an xbox. Maybe someone could put it in a rack mount...

  2. Re:Isn't this the RIAA's job? on 'Operation Cyber Sweep' Nets 125 Arrests · · Score: 1

    Nice to see people making fun of Canadians instead of Italians for a change.

  3. Re:finally... on Why Personal Websites Matter · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you don't mean neon text on a yellow background?

  4. Re:hmm on Why Personal Websites Matter · · Score: 1

    But if you stand on your porch and talk really loud, I can try to get you arrested for disturbing the peace.

  5. Re:802.11 affected? on Yet Another Big Solar Flare · · Score: 1

    Funny, though it's not even Linksys.

  6. Re:802.11 affected? on Yet Another Big Solar Flare · · Score: 1

    I'd assume you mean for either short periods of time or "outdoor" connections, as my network, as crappy as it is, has been fine all throughout the flares. (Except when it randomly locks up, but that's just the hardware.)

  7. Re:But it... on Windows Drivers Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    Well, I've noticed some things mentioned about WLAN cards in the newer kernels, though I won't make any promises about supported hardware.

    The WLAN driver is actually one of the few things stopping me from using Linux. Well, that and NTFS support, but supposivly the new kernel supports that, too.

  8. Radiation... on Parents Sue School Over Use of Wi-Fi Network · · Score: 1

    But doesn't radiation sharpen your memory?

  9. Re:MUD clients on What is a Good Free MUD Client? · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what you're complaining about. For HTML, Notepad is fine. Why do you consider it a piece of crap? Because it doesn't color code anything? Personally, I find Notepad to be fine for HTML, and no reason to switch to anything else. If I'm in Linux I might use vim, and what's different? No scroll bars but it colors text. I could understand if you're creating programs with dozens of pages of text, but really there is no reason to beat the crap out of people that use Notepad.

    If you need to express violence that much, buy a punching bag. At least that can't sue you.

  10. Re:Built in toolkit on Y: A Successor to the X Window System · · Score: 1

    "Of course, you can't get everyone to conform."

    As seen in programs like Winamp.

  11. Re:Hey! on Author of Paper Critical of Microsoft is Fired · · Score: 1

    Funny, though you must be using some fancy version of IRC to have spaces in your nick...

  12. Interesting ideas.. on Microsoft Works on Search Capabilities · · Score: 1

    "For example, users can ask their computers to retrieve all pictures that include a specific person's face or background."

    While it may not be a widely used feature, I can see that having several advantages. The only uses I can think of right now would be searching for symbols (For example, an ancient language), or an artists signature.

  13. Dupe-de-doo.. on Can You Raed Tihs? · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one on Slashdot with enough of a long term memory to realize that this is not new, and possibly a Slashdot dupe?

  14. Re:Timing on 2003 Privacy and Human Rights Survey Released · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that already an online quiz?

  15. Re:Huh huh, he said penis... on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 1

    Steel doors, you're probably not responsible, but not installing machinegun turrets? _That_ is being irresponsible.

  16. Tell them... on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    How about you offer to explain exactly what you have to get done now, what you will have to get done later, and why their work doesn't matter as much. If needed, start going into technical details about everything, true or false, in the hopes that the jargon makes them go away.

  17. Repeat or somethin'? on LavaRnd: A Open Source Project for Truly Random Numbers · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who remembers this being posted before? Or was that another project that went from lava lamps to cameras... Well, either it's a repeat, or my brain must have subscribed to Slashdot...

  18. Re:X BOX 2 = ? on ATI Wins Bid For Next Xbox · · Score: 1

    Apparently, mods don't read Ubersoft...

  19. Re:What we need... on GameCube Production to Halt · · Score: 2, Informative

    'Cause those who have no life and stare at it all day will lose their eyesight, much the same way one would staring at a lightbulb all day.

  20. Re:Device Girls on AMD Buys Pre-VIA Cyrix Media-GX Division · · Score: 0

    'Cause it's not?

  21. Re:Two cows on Powered by Blood · · Score: 0

    Why not, they put a webserver in a fly?

  22. Re:MS style innovation.... on Microsoft Research Projects Showcased · · Score: 0

    That's all we need, and then the doors with the paperclip personalities, huh?

  23. Re:Our community lab... on What Should a Community Computer Lab Offer? · · Score: 0

    Don't forget "and not putting in background music, even if it's only a midi."

  24. Re:I remember ... on Slackware Turns 10 · · Score: 0

    Or if you're recompiling a kernel.

  25. Re:well sign me up! on Linux-Controlled Segway Robot · · Score: 0

    I think you went a little overboard with that joke. Now what were the chances that someone would respond, huh?
